The Rogue Nation of MSN 0 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.47 billion MSN 0ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mitchell. The average income tax rate is 18.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 0ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,521 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 266,213 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 0's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 0 is ranked 17,799th in the world and 352nd in NationStates for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 299.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
